What are your favorite cancer messageboards?
I know there are several out there, but which ones have you found to have the best info?

I frequent one that has little traffic, but good information by its members. You get fery few (if any) responses to your questions, but the answers are usually good. One of the mods is a medical professional who also has brain cancer.

I frequent another one that's more active, but everyone seems no more informed than I am, and they're too religious.

Got any good resources?

1. "Feel Your Boobies"
One of the local fire departments is teaming up with "Feel Your Boobies" to have a motorcycle fundraiser. It's advertised in the newspaper along with a picture of a pink motorcycle and it DOES use the word "Boobies".

5. I worked in a cancer resource center about 10 years ago
when the internet was a lot less developed. The best cancer sites are cancer specific. Also, there are usually yahoo groups that are cancer specific...

there are some different ones here:

http://www.cancerforums.net/

http://my.braintumorcommunity.org/

http://www.organizedwisdom.com/Brain_Cancer_Support_Groups_and_Forums

DU has a cancer forum: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=380

6. Thanks very much!
I didn't want to specify which kind of cancer (I wanted responses to be useful to everyone), but it is brain cancer that I am looking into. Thanks again.
